Juventus Next Gen coach Massimo Brambilla spoke about the upcoming match against Crotone:
“We are in good shape. The break last weekend was beneficial, allowing us to rest. It was also a valuable experience for some of our young players to train with the First Team, which is always positive and motivating.
This week, we have focused intensely on the Crotone game and prepared thoroughly. We have recovered both physically and mentally. The recent schedule was demanding, with frequent games and a significant effort made to improve our league position.
This pause has allowed us to recharge and recover players who had minor physical issues. Crotone is a strong team with quality players for this league. They are currently in excellent form, enjoying a positive streak and are among the top-performing teams in the second half of the season.
Facing a strong and healthy Crotone requires our best performance to achieve a positive result. Reflecting on the first leg match against Crotone, which was shortly after my return to Next Gen, I am most satisfied with our ability to combine individual and collective performance growth.
We quickly achieved positive results, which is not guaranteed in this league. This progress allowed us to move away from precarious league positions. Over time, the players have gained confidence, freed themselves from anxieties about the standings, and their inherent qualities have emerged.”
